Best Answer

Cuneiform is a method of writing on clay by using a reed stylus to make imprints that form ideographic characters (like modern Chinese). The system was adopted as a writing system in Mesopotamia because clay and reeds were abundant there.

How tall were humans 1000 years ago?

European males were estimated to have measured about 1,83m (6 ft) some 40.000 years ago. About 10.000 years ago, climate change and the adoption of agriculture caused a reduction to about 1,62m (5ft4). 600 years ago, European males were about 1.65m in length, as the Little Ice Age hitting Europe and general poverty coincided. Since then, a steadily improving diet has allowed the average European male to grow to an average of 1.75m (5ft9). Note that these figures are for European males only, and do not apply to women or humans from other descent.


That the culture of ancient rome influenced the culture of ancient Greece or wasit the other way aroundwhy?

the money arts and politcsAncient Greece's Golden Age far preceded Ancient Rome, so it was definitely Greek influence in Rome and not the other way round. The Roman's adopted many Greek habits and ideas (such as their religion - Roman/Greek religion identical, just different names) for many reasons, but especially because the Greeks were seen as be cultured and civilized, and adoption of Greek customs was to impart this same sense of culture and civilization to the "rough" Roman state. Not to mention that it was easier than making up their own!


How was Greek culture spread throughout the world?

Greek culture was not spread throughout the world. It did not go to the continents of North America, South America, most of Africa, Australia and eastern Asia other than as a very late adoption of a very limited influence in architecture and literature. It spread through the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals as overpopulated ancient Greek city-states sent off their surplus populations to seize new land and establish their own city-states, resulting in over 2,000 cities. Then Alexander the great attempted to impose it on the Persian Empire, curtailed by his early death. It left a veneer of Greek culture amongst the upper class of Egypt, Syria and Asia Minor.
